    Why aren't they calling this a terrorist attack?

    How can any sick **** purposefully run someone over, these people are sick.

    Will be interesting to see how Katie Hopkins and the daily mail spin this.

    Absolutely shocking, RIP to the victims.

    What is far more worrying is how a minority of imams and extremists will spin it.

    A Muslim on BBC news earlier began saying he blames the media for the amount of Islamophobia in Europe currently. And they play a big role in attacks like this one.

    They cut him off within 5 seconds of him saying it.

    Daily Mail Online: Describe attacker as "Terror attacker", and praise Imam with: 'Don't hit him, pin him down': Hero imam saves Finsbury Park terror suspect by calling for calm so police could arrest him. Just a couple of the statements on there.

    Hopkins has tweeted that she is going to Finsbury Park to speak to victims, so they will have the opportunity to ask her about her Final Solution comment in person.

    And the f.cking idiot has just potentially made a bad situation even worse. Isis couldn't have wished for a better scenario. I'd wager that he's not mentally ill, just as thick as pigshit.

    I knew this comment would be up there with one of the first.

    Did you look around the media to see how they were representing it or did you just write this before knowing.

    By the way, the media are calling it a terrorist attack.

    "Pro-Islamic State channels are using reports of the incident in Finsbury Park to incite Muslims, according to groups which monitor jihadists."

    I'm ahead of uk time so when I first started looking there was no mention of a terrorist attack or it being considered a terorist attck.

    I just thought it would be interesting to see if it was reported the same way as the others considering the leanings in the media etc. I still haven't seen the Jo Cox murder called a terrorist attack despite it being the definition of one.

    Latest is that the driver "seems to have mental health issues".
    It could be argued that perpetrators of this kind of act are not mentally stable period.

    Ah ok.

    I think Sadiq Khan gets criticised but in these situations he is about the best around.

    He called it what it was

    Certainly were on radio 4 this morning.

    Most decent people would think this attack was appalling and just as horrendous as the other attacks in recent weeks.

    You would hope so but not if these contributors to Yahoo News are representative of the people....

    Heart Radio and BBC & Sky news are all calling it a terrorist attack

    Islamophobic extremist terrorism is as disgusting as Islamist extremist terrorism & must be treated as such.

    Reporting of this incident will have to be different as the culprit is still alive, so there will be a forthcoming trial.

    Police are saying potential terrorist attack. I don't think they need to hedge their bets. Another horrible incident, and perhaps the start of an ugly escalation of revenge events.

    The vehicle involved is from Pontyclun Van Hire according to reports.

    How did the van get from here to London? A local connection perhaps?

    Possibly by being driving down the M4. Which Severn bridge was used is at present unknown; it's unlikely they took a detour through Gloucester.
